Since your members are getting together for a reunion soon, perhaps you'd like to announce to them that the book "The Flying, Fighting Weathermen of Patrol Wing Four" by Paul E. Carrigan is about to be released. ALC Press and the Carrigan family would like to offer your members a free copy of the book in PDF (electronic) form. Some of your members already have a paper copy of the manuscript they obtained from Ralph Carrigan, Paul's brother. The book has had months of editing, pruning, fact-checking, photos, maps, and Table of Contents and Index added.
Your members just need to send me an email stating that they are an NWSA member and we will email them a copy when it's available. Placing NWSA in the Subject line will help.
The book has bonus material on our website that is accessible now though it's still being worked on. The page "Weather Basics" is pretty raw now but will be worked on soon. The page that lists the names of people who are mentioned in the book is meant to have links to additional information about the person but we have only a small percentage of names with links. Perhaps your members can help with this.
Thank you, Ed Sawicki

On the weather news, lately, there has been many discussions concerning the Polar Vortex. My, My how comptuers have simplified things and the discussion of the Vortex have changed since that I attended AG “B” School in the mid 70’s. The first photos are the basis that were discussed in my class. Some other upgrades were learned while employed by the National Weather Service and the Department of Defense before retiring in 1997. Guess many more improvements have been made in the understanding of the subject matter since then.

Wish CNMOC and the Navy a Happy 246th Birthday
Shipmates, I received an email (excerpted below) from LT Bobby Dixon, the Public Affairs Officer at Stennis. He is reaching out to all of us former METOC types to provide a little historical perspective to the CNMOC social media pages. I encourage everyone to record and send a message to the address below. Note that he needs them by 4 October. See you in Savannah! Larry, NWSA President
"This year’s 246th Navy Birthday celebration will be held during the week of October 12-15, 2021. The celebration will be marked with a service project, 5K Fun Run, and a celebration of Naval history and heritage within staffing units. In accordance with COVID mitigation, we are doing things a little differently this year with regards to how we’ll be celebrating. With that in mind, we’re asking our military retiree and civilian community to submit short, 30 second videos on what the Navy has meant to you or specific memories you’d like to share of your time in the Navy. Each video can be shot from a phone either vertically or horizontally These videos will be collected and shared on social media via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter during our celebration week. Our hope is that the sharing of these videos will provide opportunity for you to get to know and learn things about each other that you might not have otherwise. Please submit your videos by Monday, October 4, 2021 at the latest to cnmoc_stns_paoweb@navy.mil. If you do not already, please follow us: - Facebook at Naval Oceanography - Instagram @Navaloceanography - Twitter @NavyOceans - LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/company/cnmoc
